TRAFFIC ALERT: Curb ramp improvement work begins next week in East Multnomah County. Expect traffic delays.
There will be single lane closures and/or traffic shifts between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. weekdays for the next three weeks for curb ramp improvement work at these locations:
- N.E. Market Drive and N.E. Halsey Street in Fairview
- N.E. Halsey Street and N.E. 230th Court in Fairview
- S.E. Stark Street, west of S.W. Sundial Avenue in Troutdale
Flaggers may be on site directing traffic. Signs and barriers will also provide direction for pedestrian detours.
This work is part of Multnomah County Transportation’s ADA Transition Plan. The Americans with Disabilities Act requires all public agencies with more than 50 employees to have a transition plan, which outlines accessibility requirements for Multnomah County’s Transportation Division work within the County right-of-way.
The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners has designated funds to do accessibility improvements as part of the County’s mission to promote equitable outcomes for the community. Transportation has worked on ramps during previous resurfacing and road projects. This is the first project focused solely on ramp construction.
This work is weather dependent and subject to change. Plan ahead for your commute and use alternative routes.
